Look ahead to spooky season with Bath & Body Works' new Stranger Things fall collection

Despite the sweltering heat, summer is great for a lot of things, especially when there's a new season of Stranger Things to look forward to. And while we were hoping for the final season of the sci-fi horror series to debut this year, of course, that isn't happening. Due to the writers' and actors' strikes of 2023, production on season 5 was delayed, and unfortunately, we won't be seeing the conclusion to our favorite Netflix shows until 2025. Luckily, we have something exciting to try and fill the void: a new candle collection that is straight out of Hawkins.

If you're over the summer and are counting down the days until Halloween, we don't blame you! We can all celebrate "summerween" with this delicious-smelling collection. Bath & Body Works has just announced their Stranger Things collaboration, consisting of four limited-edition fall candles that are sure to bring you back to 1986. While we wait to see what's next for Eleven, we can smell the aroma of her favorite food from the comfort of our couches. (Yes, we're talking about waffles, of course!). And if you ever wanted to try some ice cream from Scoops Ahoy, you can get the next best thing with a scented candle.

If sweets aren't your thing, the Bath & Body Works fall collection also features a coffee-scented candle if, like Hopper, you dedicate your mornings to coffee and contemplation. And if you're anything like me and Argyle and LOVE pineapple on your pizza, we bring good news, because there's a candle smelling like that, too. Take a closer look at the four candles below:

Steve's Scoops "with notes of vanilla ice cream, golden waffle cone and parlor sprinkles."

"Inspired by Scoops Ahoy, the ice cream parlor located in Starcourt Mall’s food court where Steve and Robin first met."

Argyle’s Pineapple Pizza "with notes of baked pizza dough, juicy pineapple and fresh basil."

"Inspired by the restaurant chain Surfer Boy Pizza and named after an employee who claimed all ingredients were fresh but the pineapple."

Hopper’s Coffee "with notes of roasted coffee grounds, tonka bean and a splash of half and half."

"Inspired by Jim Hopper, Hawkins Chief of Police, famous for saying 'mornings are for coffee and contemplation' when faced with urgent matters."

Eleven’s Waffles "with notes of frozen waffles, maple syrup and melted butter."

"Inspired by the main character’s obsession with frozen waffles after being introduced to them by her boyfriend, Mike Wheeler, the leader of the group."

All four options will be available in the 3-Wick Candle size for $29.95 each. Bath & Body Works is also offering $10 off during a 3-Wick Candle promotion which will run between July 18 and July 21.

Though the Bath & Body Works x Stranger Things line is billed as a fall collection, you don't have to wait until next season to buy them! The four limited-edition candles will be available to buy starting on Thursday, July 18. But don't wait — I'm sure Stranger Things fans missing the show are going to buy these fast, so act fast if you want to bring a little bit of Hawkins into your living room. I can't wait to wake up to the smell of Eggo waffles every day! Yum.
